Fred and Carrie are getting closer to locking in their podcast uniforms, just in time for a rewatch of “Cops Redesign”! The Portlandia creators reminisce about Lorne Michaels’ positive influence, appreciate filming in Portland, and reflect on the incredible access they had. They kick things off with the inspiration behind “Dream of the 1890s.” The Mayor (Kyle MacLachlan) returns in the main sketch, and St. Vincent pops up in the cop-uniform fashion show. They also revisit the show’s first animated sketch, featuring three rats, and discuss how “Michelle and Brendan” is a send-up of their own music snobbery, complete with a cameo from Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock. “Do You Know?” and “Bad Art, Good Walls” offer more classic Portlandia absurdity. The episode wraps with Fred and Carrie cruising around in an actual cop car, leaving us with one big question: how on earth did they get away with that?
